Tatiana's Wanderings

A "back massager"?! / JAXTON?! / K-Mart Café! Little Caesar's! / Emptying a dog?

2020-02-26T22:08:11Z

I had a dream where my Discord UK friend Red and his wife Mrs. Weird had a LOT of kids (possibly on Duggar / Radford level with 20 or 22 kids?!) in an exchange with the other side of the world, and some older kids smoked, and it was snowing, and someone hid a chocolate square in my red toque.

From Julie M. and Amazon: Suuuuuuure this is a "back massager"... it looks like a sex toy, not really a dildo!

From Julie M. and Amazon: Jaxton is a name on a dinosaur Christmas 2019 stocking?!

From James: I'm this old that I remember when K-Mart and Little Caesar's existed! K-Mart even had a café!

From Engrish: Please do not empty your dog here.

Ram In The Bush Christian Center? Herpes Pizza? / Clete Landis? / Lesli Hubbard?

I discovered a certain copper smell and then surprise redrum, which I was trying to AVOID! UGH! RIGHT BEFORE MY TRIP!

From Julie and Anorak UK: Ram In The Bush Christian Center?! Herpes Pizza?!

From Julie: Clete Landis?! Like tennis cleats? They also need to change the font, since I thought his last name was Lanois at first. The D almost looks like an O!

From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: Lesli Hubbard?! BAD SPELLING OF MY NAME, LESLIE!

Dumpling chart / Telisport Putsavage?! / Kirk Fonoimoana?! / Jarkel Fanning?!

2019-09-27T05:47:51Z

PRODUCT WARNING: No more Nivea lotions in my apartment - the pump just suddenly goes down without warning, making it impossible for me to pop it up again!

Today is National Dumpling Day! I called Chrystal at work at 11:40 to see if we were still on for tomorrow's Birthday Dinner #3, and WE ARE! The Canucks played Arizona tonight at 7 in Preseason Game #8 (the last one!), and lost 3-2. Deb said that they could take me out to Korean food tomorrow night, but I'm not free due to the aforementioned plans. Next week on the 4th sounds fine, especially since it's a non-hockey night! I also banned someone from the Fearsome hockey group for typing in very mangled English (it would just annoy me even more throughout the year), and making every comment into some kind of slam freeform poetry.

From the V4F Discord server: Dumpling typology chart - now I want siu mai, hahaha! QUIRKY COINCIDENCE because it's National Dumpling Day today, Sept. 26!

Telisport Putsavage?!

From Julie: Kirk Fonoimoana?!

Tajuana's daughters formed a gang?! / Atreus, Rhihanan, Pye, and Denyse Tontz?!

2019-04-29T00:47:41Z

A couple days ago, Alice said she'd send me DOES IT FART?: THE DEFINITIVE FIELD GUIDE TO ANIMAL FLATULENCE (Nick Caruso, Dani Rabaiotti) in the mail for free. I was expecting it to arrive on May 2, but I was surprised when I got a "missed call" today because the phone beeped at me at 1:30. Thank goodness that the East Indian Amazon delivery driver was patient and called me back again... that saves me the trek down to Purolator! Of course I thanked Alice within ten minutes before I got distracted with editing my Book List entry and Goodreads! She hopes I enjoy it, too!

From MAURY: Tajuana says her 16-year-old twin daughters and her 15-year-old daughter formed a gang.

From Julie: Atreus?! Is that Atreyu and Zeus combined?!

From Julie: Pye?!

From Julie: Rihhanan?! Not a fan of this BAD SPELLING of Rhiannon!

Canadians being married to more than one person at a time?! / Buffie Deibler?!

2019-01-26T04:46:27Z

I called Dr. Wise's office at 11:15 because I'd run out of the Prolensa and Simbrinza eyedrops, and I'm starting to really feel a difference. I had to rest today because my eyes felt really weird like they did right after surgery. Luckily, I could pick them up this afternoon (being a Friday) before they closed at 4. I got there at 2:10 or so, and even got them to open ALL the ridiculously tiny eyedrops bottles x4 for me! PHEW!

On my way home, I just missed a Brighouse train from Yaletown-Roundhouse (where I FINALLY found the elevator to bypass the stairs), so I took a Waterfront train to stay on there so I could go to Broadway Station. I went to No Frills where I was confused by the self-checkout machine, which is nothing new. At least I got help! Bought three pounds of Parkay margarine (which I haven't bought since April 25, 2018?!) and President's Choice Kettle-Cooked Jalapeno chips. I stopped by the pharmacy next door after getting off a 401 at 3:40, and also refilled my birth control pills prescription. Everything is done - YAY!

Then Eric Ho FINALLY emailed me back to say that he's glad my eye surgery and recovery are going well, and we can get together around February 26 or a little later. Does he not know what an expiry date or deadline for the Boston Pizza Online offer is?! I want my free Bandera Pizza Bread, dammit! I'll just splurge and order delivery tonight since I somehow have more extra money in my bank account... I don't trust him to not come over before the offer expires. I eventually settled on a medium BBQ chicken pizza (which I haven't had since September 2016), a medium Meateor pizza for 50% off (which I haven't had since the last time I had pizza in August 2018 for Chinese Eric's birthday), and my free Bandera Pizza Bread with dips and cheese. There goes $57!

Boston Pizza BBQ Chicken pizza: Signature pizza sauce, pizza mozzarella, cheddar, fresh mushrooms, and BBQ chicken!

Miss Vickie's Jalapeno chips!

Hickory Sticks!

President's Choice Kettle-Cooked Jalapeno chips!

Here's a News 1130 poll from Ed Woo as of November 22, 2011. (old since it is 2019 now, I know) Should Canadians have the right to be married to more than one person at a time? 58% say YES, while 42% say NO. WHAT IN THE EVERLOVING HELL?!

Salsa received AN Nut Bread?! / Bronson, hammers, and red-hot ovens!

2019-01-05T05:40:23Z

I went out at 9:30 on a 401 to meet Mom and Dad at Main and 15th at TXL Insurance, Uncle William Ng's company. (10:30 AM?!) After we had lunch at Kwong Chow and finally took care of the insurance, I did some shopping at the Broadway London Drugs. Bought 400 Mead index cards, store brand all-purpose cleaner, a three-inch Avery binder for my important documents (a definite upgrade!), a red $2 MARTEX washcloth, a GUM toothbrush, and two dark blue $2 GOODY toothbrush covers. Got home at 1:40 to a Purolator notice (ugh), a phone call from Dr. Wise's office, and some other mail, so I had to deal with all of that.

I got a BUDDY THE ELF Christmas card / Tazo Tea x3 (passion herbal tea, vanilla caramel chai, and green ginger tea) / magnetic Fool Moon treasures crow bookmark from Angie H. (auralily) and a Ringo the dog Christmas card from Kitty (bornwitch / dutch_kitty) in the mail. Then after calling Dr. Wise's office back, I GOT MY SURGERY TIME! 11:45 at Mount St. Joseph's isn't TERRIBLE! After letting Barry know about the surgery date and then fielding an inconvenient phone call from Mom (I was going to go out before it got dark!), I trekked near YVR on Jericho Road to get to the Purolator via YVR Airport Canada Line, placing myself nearer the airport than I'd intended today, as I told Corey when I got back.

A scary mouse story to Salsa about bakery nuts / No more NOT ALWAYS RIGHT sites!

2018-11-16T03:44:04Z

After COFFEE TIME, Barry picked me up at 8:30 AM so we could go to the UBC Eye Care Centre on Willow at 9:15 AM for an eye measurement scan because of my dense cataract. RED LIGHTS IN FRONT OF MY EYES! SMELLING SKIN! The technician asked where my parents were and why they weren't with me... I CAN TAKE CARE OF THINGS MYSELF, AND MY RIDE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Barry and I talked about the rush-hour traffic, the Royal Bank kiosk machine that I noticed yesterday inside Shoppers, changing the payday shopping appointment plans to THURSDAY instead of Wednesday at 9:30 AM (gets me out of going to Dinesty with the parents!), his ongoing Wednesday appointments at 11, the RDSP stuff, and music. I got home at 10:10, and he helped me move the bedframe support back inside from where the cleaners left it outside where I'd bump into it. OUCH! I still can't close my bedroom door fully, though.

While I remembered, I emailed Eric about the construction zone and consequent road closures as a reminder for Sunday's ride to Jeremy's. He replied to say that he has a cold, so might not be okay for Sunday - UGH! The Canucks played the Wild at 5 today, and lost 6-2! I also discovered that SOMEONE put my Not Always Right / Not Always Right / Not Always Working / Not Always Romantic / Not Always Related / Not Always Learning / Not Always Friendly / Not Always Hopeless / Not Always Legal / Not Always Healthy / Unfiltered / Popular Disqus account on a commenting timeout! WHAT THE FUCK?! NOT ALWAYS FUN! Too bad - I've been on there since September 2008, thanks to my ex-friends David K. and Candace! MORE THAN A DECADE!

Salsa is talking to this mouse outside Caroline and Angie's bakery while the Happy Box delivery is on in MOTHER 3. "I have a special scary story... Wanna hear it?"

Everything melting in a dragon's mouth / Dona MONKEY in English / Discord 1969?!

2018-11-15T00:23:56Z

I went to the pharmacy next door at 1:30 to refill my prescription, showered, and did laundry today. Then I went to H and M to see if I could get sweatpants. No luck at all, even when I dragged an associate across the store! At least now I have the phone number and (mow that I'm home) the proper tag numbers for my preferred style of sweatpants! 604-279-1811 AND 063 658 68! When I got home and organized stuff, I called the store - they don't have that one because it's popular / best-selling, but will have a shipment in very soon, and said I should call in the late afternoon or early evening. Okay, then!

I got on-sale Arm and Hammer 50-load laundry detergent and store brand garbage bags at Shoppers, and on-sale bulk pads x2 (saving $1 per package) at London Drugs (just missing the 407) before hauling the heavy stuff home at 2:50 on a 401, having to get off one stop earlier because of the road closures and construction! Gotta remind white Eric about that soon... I also found a random Bench / Body men's underwear in her dried laundry. o_O

From Dragons: Everything melts in your mouth when you're a dragon!

Salsa stops by Dona and Jonel's place while the Happy Box delivery is on in MOTHER 3. Dona says, "Do you know how to say MONKEY in English? ... Ahh! I just gave it away!"

I got this error message on Discord this morning. 50 new messages since 4 PM on DECEMBER 31, 1969?! Apparently, it's a common default date for programming. (not for dates, but date-time integers) AKA 0 would be Dec. 31, 1969 at X PM... 10000 would be like Jan. 1 at Y PM. January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC was the beginning of time... for computers that use C-based time systems that is. ... which also happens to be 1969 December 31 4:00:00 PM PST. (short version: Someone at Discord screwed up, and it used a time value of 0)

2018-11-10T20:57:13Z

COFFEE TIME! The Canucks played Buffalo at 10 AM today - lovely East Coast scheduling! NOT! Sabres won 4-3 in a shootout because both teams traded the last minutes of the second and third period with quick goals. UGH!

Wess to Duster after his first trip to Osohe Castle where he picked up the Noble Spittoon and Kumatora's Pendant: "Your first job was an utter failure. But this is no time to be calling you a moron."

Wess to Duster at a special door in Osohe Castle: "Duster. This is embarrassing. Turn the other way." IT'S THE OSOHE CASTLE DANCE!

I went out to the nearby medical clinic to get removal for hearing at 1:30 today, and still had to wait almost an hour, getting home at 2:25! At least now I can hear better!

Edit at 6:30 - I used up the last of my milk unwittingly, so I had to go out again at 5:35 on a 407 to London Drugs. I got Silk almond milk and on-sale Pepperidge Farms cookies x2. Strawberry thumbprint cookies and chessmen butter cookies! I got home again at 6 on another 407.
